Synopsis

Yuuji tries to assist a pair of brothers in turmoil as Baranoia sends down a brotherly set of Machine Beasts to turn one against the other.

Plot

Yuji came across a pair of brothers - younger Takashi and older Tsuyoshi - who were attacked by Bara Cactus 1. The creature’s pollen infected people, causing them to eat machines. The consumer developed supernatural powers from whatever he or she ingested.

When the Ohranger confronted Bara Cactus 1 and his brother Bara Cactus 2, the five were easily outmatched. However, Bara Cactus 2 fumbled an attack and Bara Cactus 1 was distracted by Tsuyoshi's concern for Takeshi. Bacchushund brought the duo back to the palace to be disciplined for their mistakes. The Bara Cactus brother's are intrigued by the idea of brotherly love and defend each other. Bacchushund tells Bara Cactus 1 that he will kill Bara Cactus 2 if Bara Cactus 1 does not destroy human society.

Tsuyoshi found Takashi harassing a cop and eating the officer's gun. The child’s hand transformed into a firearm, and he helped Bara Cactus 1 attack the Ohranger. Luckily, Tsuyoshi broke the enemy’s spell by getting in front of Takeshi's gun and then embracing Takeshi. Using Oh Red’s stray Star Riser, the brothers and Yuji impaled Bara Cactus 1. Finally, the Ohranger stunned the monster with their King Smashers.

Bara Cactus 1 survived the blast, and he returned to the Baranoia headquarters. Bacchushund had dismantled and strung up Bara Cactus 2. The machine lord lectured on how love was filthy, then killed Bara Cactus 1 and crushed his decapitated head.
